about

Sylvia Rose Novak is a band.

The band’s front-person and namesake, Sylvia Rose Novak, has always come out swinging. This is as apparent on the opening track, “Fallout”, of their fifth studio album, A Miss/ A Masterpiece, as it is in the fact that Sylvia’s been releasing a full-length studio LP every two years since 2014. She’s been called prolific more than a handful of times but the bassist and songwriter simply prefers to think of herself as driven. 

Met with acclaim from publications such as American Songwriter and Billboard, Sylvia Rose Novak’s aptly-named 2020 release BAD LUCK carefully bridged the gap between Sylvia’s former life as an Americana artist - a genre that she felt put into because the music industry and fans alike had issues boxing her into one space - and her foray into pure rock and roll. However, when it comes to A Miss/ A Masterpiece, Novak is expecting fans of her previous work to leave their preconceptions at the door.

The band’s follow-up singles, “A Better Euphemism, Still”, “Evermore”, and “Broad Strokes” are songs that clearly and firmly cement Sylvia Rose Novak’s place in the rock genre.
